Ruger Precision Rifle

Two ten-round magpul magazines are included, but the rifle will accept any SR-25 style magazine.

Tested for accuracy, Hornady won the day with my best 5-shot group measuring 0.40 inches at 100 yards. Everything grouped at around .50 inches. Adding my Delta P Design Brevis II Ultra 6.5mm suppressor, recoil was all but non-existent. Plenty quiet, it adds 7.5 ounces to the end of the barrel. Designed specifically for Pro Series competition, it was perfect for this rifle.

Mil-spec M1A magazines worked, as did high-quality AR10 magazines. Accuracy International AW magazines would not work. With minor alteration they could, just not our of the box. Using several other SR25 patterned magazines (Lancer, Larue, DPMS), they all worked just fine.

Final Thoughts

Ruger’s Precision Rifle is down right impressive. No need to spend $90.00 on a magazine. The ability to swap out hand guards, grips, and stocks with off the shelf AR parts allows a perfect fit. Getting all that with a $1,399 suggested retail price is a bit mind boggling, and a fantastic opportunity for most shooters.

The butt stock not only folds along the left side, but it also is adjustable for LOP , and comb position and height.

There is little to dislike about this rifle. It will bring a whole new crop of shooters to precision rifle matches. Police departments will also look closely at the .308 version. It shoots circles around the competition while providing excellent ergonomics and AR controls, along with light weight, 100% reliable performance, and crazy accuracy.
